Soil: Prepare soil well by mixing in compost or manure to enrich. Dahlias prefer slightly acidic soil with a pH between 6.5-7.0.
Planting: Plant tubers or young plants after chance of frost has passed, usually around May. Space 24-36 inches apart depending on mature size.
Water: Water 1-2 inches per week. Provide extra water during hot, dry periods. Avoid wetting foliage.

Staking: Insert stakes at planting time. Tall varieties will need support to remain upright.

FAQ
What dahlia is pink with yellow Centre?
The mignon dahlia with pink flowers is a dwarf dahlia that produces an abundance of single pale pink flowers that have a darker middle and yellow centre. They can be planted in either a tub or the ground.
What is the rarest color of dahlias?
Black dahlias are extremely rare: less than 20 of 200,000 species of dahlia are black. But new research from scientists has thrown new light on how these dark flowers get their colour.
What happens if you plant a dahlia with gall?
Leafy gall is possibly the most benign of all the dahlia diseases because it doesn’t stop the plant from growing. Dahlias from infected tubers may grow and bloom, or the stems may be weak and snap off. Yet removing these plants from the garden is important.
